Today I'm sharing some one of my favorite techniques with stencils. I really dig the rich vibrant colors and interesting texture.

I am preparing for a Vendor Boutique that will be held at the 2019 Transformation Conference - a Women's entrepreneurship event - in October and making greeting cards by the dozen. I am mass producing backgrounds. It's so easy to do with this technique.

First, I picked out stencils, choosing designs that had some detail.

I used gloss gel medium to provide texture and alcohol inks for the beautiful color. Scroll down to click on a link to a step by step video I did.

I was first introduced to this technique by MaryBeth Shaw. MaryBeth has so many cool ways to use stencils, as well as a variety of ways to add texture and interest in artwork. I love her workshops - online and in person!

All the stencils used are from StencilGirl®. You can see a video of this technique here.

I don’t know what it is about faces! I just find joy in painting them 😊. One thing I heard from @janedavenport ...”let ‘s see who falls out.” Which was so freeing for me. I don’t have to get the exact face that’s in my mind,I can just enjoy the process! Woohoo! I am! Hehehe .

I laid down the face basic shape.

And, then just embraced the journey, through the ugly stages, boo-boos and adjustments - all of it!

I'm sharing at the Stencil Talk blog! I have several examples of my favorite ways to use alphabet and word stencils in my artwork. Alphabet stencils are so versatile. They can be used in the background, as a focal point, and/or as a voice in your artwork. Please click here to see the post.
